Add text & change color in MS Paint
To add text and change color of font in MS Paint in Windows 10, launch MS Paint, and go to the Tools section. It offers tools like Pencil, Fill with color, Eraser, Color picker, Magnifier, and Text. The Text tool lets you add text to any image or a blank canvas.

That said there is one huge drawback. If you accidentally click anywhere on the canvas, there is no way to re-edit or change anything. MS Paint will apply the text to the image. The only way out is to re-do everything as it doesn’t record steps if you have left the text area. Since there is no concept of layering in MS Paint, you will not be able to move it either.

When you draw the text area, the MS Paint ribbon will open up Text customization options. You have the option to change font style, size, bold, italics, opaque, or transparent background. The next section in the ribbon is Colors. Let’s figure out how you can change the color of the text. The Color section offers the option to select foreground color (Color 1), background-color (Color 2), set of pre-selected colors, and the option to edit and choose colors. Now, let’s learn to change color.
Transparent and Opaque Background
Before we go ahead, let’s clear out one crucial detail. The background color will not work if you have selected a Transparent background for your text. Only when you choose Opaque, the background color will be visible.
